It carries traffic from Guildford in Surrey eastward through Dorking along the southern edge of the North Downs, i.e. the Vale of Holmesdale, between that range and the Greensand Ridge to reach mid-west Kent. En route, the road passes through Reigate, Redhill, Nutfield, Bletchingley, Godstone, Oxted, Westerham, Brasted, Sevenoaks and Borough Green. It passes over six of the seven rivers which drain the vale and land to the south, in separate catchments. A short distance beyond Borough Green, at Wrotham Heath, Platt, Kent the A25 ends at a junction with the A20, which continues eastward towards Maidstone. It continues for a short distance beyond the traditional Portsmouth Road, since replaced by a bypass which the road does not reach, and thus extends into Zone 3.

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
